The majority of polished porcelain tiles need sealing with MPG sealer before grouting to seal micro pores opened in the polishing process. Some polished porcelain tiles does not require sealing or have been pre-sealed by the factory when they were manufactured. Often polished porcelain tiles will have residues on the surface from manufacture – you may need to use an appropriate cleaner to remove this.
